Skatelands

I entered the skating rink with confidence and skillful paces. I glided gracefully at tremendous speed with the wind blowing in my hair. I was just watching Uili glide backwards across the skate rink. I was so jealous!

 Then it was time to race....”All girls who want to race, report to the skate rink,” Richard (the old man who worked there) said,or something like that! I was ready to race and I was also full of energy too.

 

 It was Jay-Lee,Tyla-Marie, Mary, Tui and me who was going to race.We all heard the word GO and off we went. We had to do three whole laps round the skating rink.When it was half way through, I fell and cried! I was so embarrassed! ”AHHHH!” I yelled out. My dad helped me get up and I lost the race, of course!!!! I got bumps and bruises on my legs and my butt!

 My dad said “Your OK,your OK!” so I believed him and I got back on to the skating rink!

The Picnic

While the wind was blowing and the were waves rolling at the reserve, Pt England school was making their way down to Pt England Reserve to have a fantastic picnic. Kids were playing on the beach, maneuvering around the slippery and gluggy clay and rocks, as well as trying to turn the rocks over to find the crabs underneath.

In the meantime my friend Nathan and I (Calvin) were making things out of clay like clay cannon balls and skulls. Later on Nathan and I went to have some rock melon,Nathan did not want any because he said he vomited when he ate it.

Dying to go to the toilet, the portaloos arrived and I was relieved. Then the time had come to pack up and return to school.

Christchurch Earthquake

Here is an article by Tyla from our class about the Christchurch earthquake.

 Devastating news has been confirmed  that Christchurch suffered from another bad earthquake. Although the earthquake measured  6.3 magnitude, the damages were worse than before.The last earthquakeearthquake was deeper down in the ground but this one was shallower and that’s what caused most of the damage.Since September Christchurch has been having little after shocks  until this big one.


I feel so sad sorry the kids in Christchurch that  suffer through this kind of stuff. Especially for the people who lost they loved ones and homes. May luck and hope be with them.

A Cautionary Tale

This term at our school we are learning all about Little Critters, bugs, creepy crawlies, insects, arachnids, slugs and snails. Creatures that make up 97% of the animal kingdom.


Recently at school we have also been having some major building work take place. So we decided to write a script about a cockroach called Colin whose home at school is about to be demolished. His mother sets him the task of finding a new home but there are distractions along the way.
See if you can guess what the moral of the story is.
